Is there a particular species you are interested in helping? Maybe some arrangement can be made for a more hands on training. Our classical music group has noticed your thoughtful answers in the classical forum and we would love for you to take a peek at our new group, many of us you already know. Just click on this link and say "hi" If you have any problem with the link just email me. Thanks!!http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/cla… Antelope- talk to as many people in that field as possible.

Usually you would train with an already established licensed rehab center or individual to gain experience. Yes, being a vet tech would help. You can use your income to eventually start a rehab of your own. Many people do rehab as a hobby or in addition to a regular job..but there are a few that make a living doing it..although it is not a profession that pays well. Mostly it is a very rewarding career. http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/index.ht… This site should answer all your questions.

I'd definitely start there to see what the requirements and career opportunities are. You can try this link: http://www.owra.org/becoming.htm "Laws on what is needed to become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator vary from state to state. There is no "formal" education that is needed although many states require experience working under a licensed rehabber for a certain amount of time. Some states also require passing an exam before being licensed to care for injured/orphaned wildlife. In some states, in order to retain your permit, there are continuing education requirements. All of these criteria are in place in an effort to be sure that wildlife is given the best possible quality of care. If you are interested in this field, the BEST place to start is to find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area and volunteer with them for awhile." Have you tried asking a wildlife refuge?
